KevinD Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well, I finally tired of trying to find a way to upload and post videos, so I made one. Feel free to use it. Finally got Sukei to eat some fruit! Watch "Sukei Likes Apples" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogsBirdsFish Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Love the video. My Emma will not eat an apple slice but loves eating the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinD Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hmm, maybe I am wrong but I made extra sure to remove the core because they said the core has trace amounts of arcenic in it, I could have read it wrong. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Cute video. Yes, it is better to remove the core/seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in...:confused: Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have read a couple books on Greys and when I read that apple seeds contained a trace amount of cyanide I didn't give it much thought as my Emma did not like apples. Then the other day she was really interested in the apple I was eating so I gave her the core (expecting her to drop it) and was surprised that she ate it.

Ray P Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Great video and pictures. Love to watch them eat when they find something they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in...:confused: They contain a cyanide precursor that metabolises into cyanide but they would have to eat a lot to do any harm but I never take the chance. Cherry pits, plum and apricot and related fruits contain similar potentially poisonous compounds. Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 When I provide a dish to my birds that they all share...it is three parts veggies/two parts fruit. I cut up apples,pears,plums,etc.No seeds. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
